2017 Map of Board Camp

About this map

Board Camp and Cherry Hill anchor this rural landscape in the western Arkansas mountains, where the Ouachita River flows eastward across the center of the sheet. The settlement pattern is defined by family-named landmarks and historical community centers like Yocana and Ink. Genealogy and local history are preserved through several burial grounds, including Board Camp Cem, Liberty Cem, and Lower Big Fork Cem. The northern and southern portions of the map are characterized by the steep elevations of the Ouachita National Forest, with Goldsberry Mtn dominating the northeastern corner. Extensive forest roads and local lanes, such as Renegade Ln and Polk Road 63, connect these mountain settlements to water sources like Board Camp Cr and Sulphur Cr, illustrating the long-standing reliance on the local creek network for both navigation and agricultural sustenance.
